Description:

The Triumph TR3 is a classic roadster in every sense of the word. Long body lines and sports car handling characteristics are just a few of the attributes that the TR3 is known for. Produced from 1955 to 1962, the TR3 had several variants and all were stellar performers, both on and off the track. Power for the TR3 came from a 1991 cc inline overhead valve engine, rated at 95 horsepower, quite an impressive figure for a small sports car. A manual four-speed gearbox gave the TR3 an authentic sports car feel and suspension featuring double A-arms with coil springs and tube shock absorbers, offered great handling both on the track and the open road. Offered here is an excellent example of the Triumph legacy, a 1960 TR3, finished in traditional British Racing Green. This nicely restored example features Black interior and wide whitewall tires. This Triumph has been extremely well-cared for and has been driven regularly through the years to maintain its pristine condition. Power for this TR3 comes from its 2, 138 cc inline four-cylinder rated at 102 horsepower. A manual four-speed gearbox is just what British sports car touring is all about and this one moves through the gears with ease. Weighing in at just 1, 983 pounds, the TR3 is both light and fast making it a great road car. This TR3 utilizes Triumph’s front independent suspension system and a live rear axle. The maintenance and cosmetic restoration of this sharp sports car was performed recently. Overall, this is a Triumph TR3 that makes for a great weekend road car, as it offers great looks and reliable motoring. The TR3 is a sports car that is both historically significant yet reliable enough for everyday driving. The TR3 is the car that put Triumph on the map as it solidified the company’s place as a builder of great sports cars. This example would make a wonderful addition to any collection and is immediately ready for both show and go.
